[Tutor] TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

[Greg Christian]

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here. When trying to call the factors function from main with x = factors(Tn), getting the error message: “TypeError: 'int' object is not callable”? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


def factors(n):
    L = []
    for i in range(1, int(n ** 0.5) + 1):
        if (n % i == 0):
            L.append(i)
    return L
    
def main():
    factors = 0
    counter = 0
    L = []
    while len(L) < 50:
        counter += 1
        L.append(counter)
        Tn = sum(L)
        x = factors(Tn)
        #print x
    print(sum(L))
        

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
